Economic Implications of Climate Change Policy

While¬†the debate over the causes of climate change has largely subsided, a new debate has emerged: what is the best climate change policy moving forward? More importantly, what is the most efficient and cost-effective policy? Join the World Affairs Council and a panel of economic and policy experts for a discussion on the economic costs and barriers to implementing a successful climate change policy. What are the foreseeable costs to individuals, businesses, and government? The panel will also compare climate change policies across developing and developed economies‚ÄĒspecifically, taking a comparative look at China and California.
